2013 trial date set for ‘legally dead’ man in Mississippi
A 2013 trial date has been set for a legally dead Mississippi man facing federal charges in the kidnapping of a 12-year-old Las Vegas girl whose body was found last year in Louisiana.
Thomas Steven Sanders was declared dead in Mississippi in 1994. He is suspected in the deaths of Lexis Roberts, whose body was found Oct. 8 in Louisiana’s Catahoula Parish, and her mother, 31-year-old Suellen Roberts, whose body was found the next month in Arizona’s Yavapai County.
